| Summary: | Thesis (M.Phil. (Education))--University of Cape Town, 2008. === Includes bibliographical references (leaves 88-93). === The purpose of this minor dissertation is to undertake a critique of the Whole-school Evaluation (WSE) Policy. The study uses Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) to reveal the major influences in the policy and to ask what important issues have been overlooked. The dissertation examines dominant discourses in the policy and the ways in which these discourses have been framed. Through a description of what is present in the policy, CDA offers an analytical tool with which to explore its omissions. |
